What rooms do you like to design to have a delightful surprise?
I try to add a little surprise or wow moment in each space I create. That can be anything from interior architecture to special lighting to unexpected artwork.

When deciding the theme, where do you draw inspiration?
I draw inspiration from travel, artwork, and the natural world around us. However, the design schemes always start together with the clients and the elements of their spaces that are important to them.

Can you share a memorable reaction from a client after unveiling a boldly designed room?
Occasionally, the homeowners go outside their comfort zone and it is my job as an experienced
professional to encourage them. Receiving positive feedback from clients is what we strive for.

What are some practical tips for homeowners looking to incorporate BOLD patterns and colors into their home?
While it’s fun to incorporate bold prints and colors, it can be daunting as well. I suggest layering patterns while paying attention to varying the scale of prints. Choose one “main event” print or color and let that be the star of your scheme. Then choose a supporting cast of fabrics and colors.

What advice would you give to someone who is hesitant to use bold colors and patterns in their home?
Bold colors do not have to overwhelm the space if they are selected thoughtfully and with restraint.
